His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

American companies — from mobile providers to chipmakers like Intel and Qualcomm — will not be allowed to do business with Huawei. That’s because, according to U.S. officials, the company’s technology could be used for surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a resolution isn’t reached, Liang said, Huawei will have to build its own software, which would be “difficult.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email, a Google spokesperson said the company was engaging with the Department of Commerce to ensure they’re in compliance with its requirements and temporary license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our focus is protecting the security of Google users on the millions of existing Huawei handsets in the U.S. and around the world today and going forward,” the spokesperson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company declined to say whether its talks with the government have included directly or indirectly advocating for the ability to support future Huawei devices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Liang Hua, Huawei chairman']‘Google is a very responsible company. We have maintained very good cooperation with each other.’[/pullquote]NPR interviewed several former senior officials at Commerce and the White House who are concerned that a private company, governed by its own self-interests, is advocating for a foreign partner that has been officially blacklisted for security concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric Hirschhorn, who served in the Commerce Department during the Obama administration, said turning Huawei into a bargaining chip in the U.S.-China trade war was a strategic mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I spent a lot of time (trying) to make sure that national security and trade were kept separate,” he said. Mixing the two “would have been unheard of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Commerce officials said it’s standard for companies to reach out to the department about their ability to do business abroad.

Before the California Democratic Party State Convention in San Francisco last weekend, Sen. Elizabeth Warren also unveiled a billboard near the main Caltrain station that called to “Break Up Big Tech.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say breakups are unlikely in the short term, and Rep. David Cicilline, the Rhode Island Democrat who leads the subcommittee pursuing the House investigation, called such measures a “last resort.” But even without that, Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple could face new restrictions on their power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple all declined to comment on the investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a look at the cases that could be brought against them and what their defenses could be.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Facebook\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>With 2.4 billion users, $56 billion in revenue last year and a name that’s synonymous with social media, Facebook is certainly big. But is it an illegal, competition-crushing monopoly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal regulators are already \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11742542/facebook-anticipates-an-ftc-privacy-fine-of-up-to-5-billion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investigating the company’s privacy practices\u003c/a>. But the antitrust question has been rumbling in the background, with critics calling for spinning off WhatsApp and Instagram. Warren has called for breaking up Big Tech, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opinion/sunday/chris-hughes-facebook-zuckerberg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as has Chris Hughes\u003c/a>, a co-founder of Facebook. Former Vice President Joe Biden has said that he is open to the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11742542,news_11659038,science_1921753\"]Critics believe a breakup is needed because Facebook can squash competitors either by buying them or using its enormous resources to mimic services they offer — as it’s done with Snapchat, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook executives have been calling broadly for regulation, though nothing that comes close to breaking it up. In a recent statement, the company’s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said Facebook “accepts that with success comes accountability. But you don’t enforce accountability by calling for the breakup of a successful American company.” CEO Mark \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/e7afbd4c480347f8ac809a2e5cd4baca\">Zuckerberg has called for\u003c/a>“new rules” in four areas: harmful content, election integrity, privacy and data portability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook has also stressed that it has competitors in messaging and digital communication, including Apple and Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York University law professor Eleanor Fox said that because antitrust law focuses on companies that raise prices too much, and Facebook is free, it will be a tough to break up the business. And Facebook commands less than a quarter of worldwide digital advertising, well behind Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warren, however, has laid out plans for legislation that targets companies with more than $25 billion of annual revenue. It would limit their ability to expand and force parts of their business to operate as separate entities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Google\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>As Google becomes a leading mail provider, search engine and advertising platform, federal regulators are starting to wonder if it needs to be knocked down a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say Google’s dominance in search has allowed it to squash rivals — notably because Google can show its own products above competitors’ or feature its own ads prominently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google might argue it doesn’t have an obligation to do business with its rivals at all — an argument that other companies have made when faced with similar challenges, said Sandeep Vaheesan, legal director for Open Markets Institute, which advocates breaking up monopolies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s Google’s technology and Google can use it as it wishes, goes one line of reasoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11711884,news_11680985\"]Google has also faced scrutiny over the practices it uses to get its search and other products featured on smartphones. Some say Google imposes too many self-serving regulations on smartphone makers who use Google’s Android operating system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Google might simply argue that Android users like Google products and want them on their phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under existing laws, it is difficult to make the case that Google has monopoly power, “even though I think a lot of people think it’s really obvious,” Fox said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Apple\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since its opening in 2008, Apple’s pioneering app store has given customers instant access to services that entertain, enlighten and engage. But it’s also a place where Apple controls all the access and sets commission rates for subscriptions and other purchases made through the apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it opens an investigation, the Justice Department is most likely to focus on whether Apple is abusing its veto and pricing power to throttle and gouge its competition. The commissions it collects are also the subject of a consumer lawsuit that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11746776/supreme-court-rules-against-apple-as-kavanaugh-sides-with-liberal-justices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Supreme Court recently cleared to proceed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11746776\"]App makers periodically allege that they are blocked because Apple wants people to use its own services. In a recent example, several makers of apps for managing the amount of time kids can use their iPhones say they were kicked out of the store not long after Apple introduced its own screen-management controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple says it typically blocks only apps with buggy software or features that invade users’ privacy. The company likens its rules to merchants deciding what products to carry. Apple also says its store includes apps that compete with its own products, including Google Maps and Google’s Chrome browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also under criticism is the 30% cut that Apple pockets on new subscription sign-ups during the first year and a 15% slice for renewals. The app store is expected to generate about $16 billion in revenue this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple says the commissions cover costs for running the app store, including hiring people to review apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antitrust regulators could try to impose requirements that lower Apple’s commissions or, in a worst-case scenario, force it to spin off the app store. The latter option, though, could hurt consumers by making iPhones and other Apple products more cumbersome to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives likened a breakup to “a complex and almost impossible Siamese twin operation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Amazon\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The only one of the major tech companies not based in the Bay Area, Amazon has grown from an online bookseller into a gigantic e-commerce player with its tentacles in everything from web hosting to streaming video to groceries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Union’s antitrust chief has been conducting an early-stage probe into whether Amazon is using data to gain an edge on third-party merchants, who are both its customers and rivals. Italy has been looking into whether Amazon abused its dominance by offering preferential treatment to companies that used Amazon’s own delivery-management services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cicilline, the congressman, said Amazon has identified bestselling products elsewhere, rolled out replicas under its own brand and then steered customers to its own products over those of its rivals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Warren tweeted in April that big tech companies like Amazon should be broken up, Amazon tweeted back: “Walmart is much larger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/amazonnews/status/1120780868614627328\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos made a similar case in a recent letter to shareholders: “Amazon today remains a small player in global retail. We represent a low single-digit percentage of the retail market, and there are much larger retailers in every country where we operate. And that’s largely because nearly 90% of retail remains offline, in brick and mortar stores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Amazon does dominate online. Market research company eMarketer expects Amazon to account for 52% of all online sales in the U.S. this year, up from 48% last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>_____\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Mae Anderson in New York; Michael Liedtke in Cupertino, California; Matt O’Brien in Providence, Rhode Island; and Joseph Pisani in Las Vegas contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system. After noting approvingly that white supremacist Dylann Roof was convicted of killing nine African Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, Castro said “what about Eric Garner … and across the Bay Stephon Clark? They need justice too,” he said referring to unarmed people of color who died at the hands of police.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castro, in a reference to President Trump’s immigration policies, said what he looked forward to most if he is elected is the traditional “changing of the guard” walk from the White House to the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol with the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses. “What I’ll say is, adios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. We have to give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives,” Sanders said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders, thanked those who supported his 2016 campaign for president saying “today we take that revolution forward.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to the weekend’s pile of insults and criticisms of President Trump, Sanders called him “the worst president in the history of this country — a president who is racist, sexist, homophobic and a religious bigot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing a litany of issues including health care, gun control, making corporations pay their fair of taxes “including Amazon” and abortion, Sanders said repeatedly “there is no middle ground.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders certainly still has his army of supporters in California, but as the convention winds down there is a sense that as Sen.

They can afford two cents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most of the other candidates, Warren didn’t take any direct shots at her 23 competitors in the Democratic Party — at least not by name.

John Delaney (Maryland)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If there’s one of the 14 Democratic presidential candidates who spoke this weekend that few could tell you anything about, it’s Maryland Congressman John Delaney. But that changed today — and not in a good way — at least for the few hundred delegates who stuck around long to hear the final candidate speak. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney got booed — louder and longer than former Gov. John Hickenlooper yesterday after Delaney attacked the idea of single payer health care, which is a touchstone for many in the California Democratic Party.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delaney said the so-called \u003cem>Medicare for All\u003c/em> “would kick millions of Americans off their existing health insurance,” cementing his status as the least-loved candidate this weekend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The booing prompted the party’s acting chair Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker to say “ can we now continue the speeches with dignity and respect for he rest of our speakers?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Former Mayor Julian Castro (Texas)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The former mayor of San Antonio, Texas was introduced by his congressman brother Joaquin.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“A lot of times I need a name tag,” Julian Castro joked about frequent confusion with his brother. “He says I’m a minute uglier than he is, which is not true.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro had the unfortunate chore of speaking right after Bernie Sanders, whose supporters mostly left the hall after his speech. Given that California has a large and growing Latino population, it’s a little surprising that Castro, who attended Stanford as an undergrad and has ties to the Bay Area, doesn’t have more of an organized presence here in California. But he doesn’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Castro used his time to tell his increasingly well known family story. “My mom was a hell raiser in the early Chicana movement,” Castro said. He invoked the memory of his grandmother, who had a foot amputated because of diabetes before pledging to “strengthen Medicare and make sure it’s available to every single person in this country.” But he was vague about what exactly that meant or how he would do it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The crowd, by now scant, seemed most aroused by Castro’s description of inequality in the criminal justice system. After noting approvingly that white supremacist Dylann Roof was convicted of killing nine African Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church in 2015, Castro said “what about Eric Garner … and across the Bay Stephon Clark? They need justice too,” he said referring to unarmed people of color who died at the hands of police.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castro, in a reference to President Trump’s immigration policies, said what he looked forward to most if he is elected is the traditional “changing of the guard” walk from the White House to the inauguration at the U.S. Capitol with the outgoing and incoming presidents and their spouses. “What I’ll say is, adios.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sen.

Sanders was slated to talk on Sunday — usually most of the out-of-town delegates have headed for the airport by then. There was some thought that perhaps it was intended to help keep the most liberal activists around long enough to vote for Kimberly Ellis in a much-expected Sunday runoff for party chair. But with Rusty Hicks sewing it up in the first round last night, Sanders ended up playing to a much smaller crowd than Saturday’s speakers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Sanders wasted no time doing what others have done this weekend — obliquely criticizing Joe Biden without mentioning his name.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“In my view we will not defeat Donald Trump unless we bring excitement and energy into the campaign. We have to give millions of working people and young people a reason to vote and a reason to believe that politics is relevant to their lives,” Sanders said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders, thanked those who supported his 2016 campaign for president saying “today we take that revolution forward.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding to the weekend’s pile of insults and criticisms of President Trump, Sanders called him “the worst president in the history of this country — a president who is racist, sexist, homophobic and a religious bigot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Citing a litany of issues including health care, gun control, making corporations pay their fair of taxes “including Amazon” and abortion, Sanders said repeatedly “there is no middle ground.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sanders certainly still has his army of supporters in California, but as the convention winds down there is a sense that as Sen. Elizabeth Warren rises, Sanders will fall, losing support to the candidate President Trump derides as “Pocahontas.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many delegates and other party insiders say Warren’s \u003cem>tour de force\u003c/em> performance Saturday put her on the radar for many people who were supporting Kamala Harris or Sen.

Bauman resigned in November after a series of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11708230/california-democrats-investigate-sex-misconduct-claims-against-chairman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sexual harassment allegations\u003c/a> and two lawsuits from former party employees that describe a culture of inappropriate behavior and a tolerance for it within the California Democratic Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think people feel that Eric Bauman really hurt the heart and soul of the party,” said Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson. “But I think that was just a symptom of other things that were happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinson pointed to internal party divisions along racial, gender and generational lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state Democratic Party does stand at a crossroads now,” she said, “and some supporters of Kimberly Ellis feel that they really haven’t had the power positions in the Democratic Party that they would like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11747877/kimberly-ellis-on-losing-with-grace-her-brothers-death-and-her-run-for-party-chair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conversation\u003c/a> on KQED’s Political Breakdown last month, Ellis expressed doubt that this year’s chair election will be fair and transparent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I’m being honest, I’m not very confident,” Ellis said, noting that her campaign’s request for a certified list of delegates eligible to vote for chair was still incomplete at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11751338\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11751338\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Kimberly-Ellis-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"After losing a close election two years ago, Bay Area progressive activist Kimberly Ellis is vying for state Democratic Party chair again this weekend.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Kimberly-Ellis-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Kimberly-Ellis-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Kimberly-Ellis.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After losing a close election two years ago, Bay Area progressive activist Kimberly Ellis is vying for state Democratic Party chair again this weekend. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Kimberly Ellis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When asked whether party insiders feared her election for some reason, Ellis didn’t mince words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am a black woman in a world that does not have a lot of people who look like me,” she said. “And so visually I represent a kind of change that a lot of people are uncomfortable with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there are seven candidates running for chair, Ellis and Los Angeles labor leader Rusty Hicks are regarded as the leading contenders. Hicks, a 39-year-old Texas native who helped lead the fight to raise the minimum wage in Los Angeles to $15 an hour, is relatively soft-spoken and low-key, at least compared with Ellis. But he’s hoping the party is looking for steady leadership more than flashy rhetoric.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve done my share of fiery speeches, but I do think there’s a need for thoughtful, strategic and steadfast leadership within our party,” Hicks \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11741171/rusty-hicks-on-his-campaign-for-democratic-party-chair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Political Breakdown\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to making the party more transparent and inclusive, Hicks said, he sees the party at “an inflection point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have to be singularly focused on seeing a change in the White House,” Hicks said. “I think California can play a big role in that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11751348\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11751348\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks-800x491.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles labor leader Rusty Hicks is also vying for state Democratic Party chair.\" width=\"800\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks-800x491.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks-1020x626.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks-1200x737.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Rusty-Hicks.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Los Angeles labor leader Rusty Hicks is also vying for state Democratic Party chair. \u003ccite>(Rusty Hicks/YouTube)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But first, party leaders are working behind the scenes to avoid a repeat of the debacle that ensued in 2017, when the razor-thin margin in the chair’s election left the party divided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christine Pelosi, chair of the party’s Women’s Caucus, is determined to choreograph an amicable ending to the weekend’s chair selection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t go through a nine-month sprint to the March 3 (2020 presidential) primary if you have a massive split in the party and people feel divided after a very close race for chair,” Pelosi said. “There are always ways to share power that brings people from all the campaigns to sit at the table together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi said she advised Bauman to bring in Ellis’ supporters after he won two years ago, but he declined, exacerbating the hard feelings that pierced that convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hardest thing after you lose is to come together. And if you don’t force yourself to do it in the moments after there’s a victory, it just metastasizes,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theme for this weekend’s convention is “Blue Wave Rolling,” a reference to the Democrats’ sweep of congressional seats in Orange County and the party’s overwhelming advantage in the state Legislature.

Renters tend to move more, meaning they need to re-register to vote at each new address. Political mailers and turn-out-the-vote campaigns can have a tough time infiltrating apartment complexes and keeping track of who moved where.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beyond these structural barriers, there’s the thorny question of why more renters aren’t more politically organized and active, especially compared to homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the answer–many renters consider their identity as a tenant temporary, and aspire to be homeowners some day. Why spend time on something like campaigning for rent control if you won’t benefit from it in a few years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone in America and certainly everyone in California, from when you’re born, the expectation is you rent until you have enough money to buy a house,” said Shanti Singh, communications director for Tenants Together, a statewide coalition of local tenants groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh likens the difficulty tenants unions have mobilizing renters to the difficulty labor unions have mobilizing workers who aspire to one day rise to management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"left\" citation=\"Brian Augusta, lobbyist for tenant interests\"]“That’s the question we’re always asking ourselves.”[/pullquote]“We’re like 20 to 30 years behind the labor movement, and even the labor movement is always trying to get people to understand their identity as workers,” said Singh. “We’re trying to do the same thing and kind of trying to follow that path.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That dynamic may be changing as the cost of homeownership becomes less and less feasible for younger Californians, who may consider renting less a temporary station and more the only viable means of remaining in the state. In 1970, the average California home \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/digging-data-attainable-california-dream-today/\">cost about three times\u003c/a> the median income for a 25 to 34-year-old family. Today the average home costs about seven times a young family’s earnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The money imbalance is important, but it doesn’t explain everything\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>To many in the tenants rights movement, the answer to why pro-renter bills die in the Capitol is simple: Landlords and their allies have lots of money for campaign contributions, lobbying and independent political expenditures.

People living on the streets are allowed to set up their camps between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but must break them down during the day. Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín has said the new ordinance was meant to address the accumulation of personal items on walkways without criminalizing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Councilmember Cheryl Davila said that the city first needs a robust homelessness response system in place to help before it can expect the unhoused — including seniors and the disabled — to break down their camps each day.

As Berkeleyside reported at the time:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The new rules apply to any personal belongings that are not for sale and not “in transit,” except mobility devices like wheelchairs and small blankets or cushions. The policy prohibits all other objects on sidewalks in residential districts.

People living on the streets are allowed to set up their camps between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but must break them down during the day. Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín has said the new ordinance was meant to address the accumulation of personal items on walkways without criminalizing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Councilmember Cheryl Davila said that the city first needs a robust homelessness response system in place to help before it can expect the unhoused — including seniors and the disabled — to break down their camps each day. After all, she said, they don’t necessarily have anywhere to go with their stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ordered the First Amendment Coalition and KQED, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11730624/kqed-sues-attorney-general-fighting-for-access-to-police-misconduct-and-shooting-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joined the lawsuit\u003c/a> in March, to negotiate a timeline and other issues with the Attorney General’s Office. The parties are scheduled to report back to court on June 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Friday afternoon, Becerra abandoned his previous \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723281/california-attorney-general-refuses-to-release-police-misconduct-files-despite-new-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contradictory position\u003c/a> on the new law, Senate Bill 1421.

He said that should stop after Friday’s ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an important victory for access to police misconduct records because it requires the attorney general to now act,” Burke said after the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
